Eggslut’s Alvin Cailan to Open The Usual in NYC

Following a slew of pop-ups and the introduction of his new cooking show, Eggslut chef Alvin Cailan has announced a full-service restaurant coming to New York City. Next month The Usual will arrive at the Nolitan Hotel and will feature “a number of dishes interpreted by [the restaurant’s] cooks, ‘the children of immigrants,’” a term of endearment Cailan gives to his staff.
The menu will consist of fried chicken, pasta, burgers, cheddar-chive biscuits, flatbreads and your usual ice cream/chocolate cake desserts. The Usual opens July 1.
